Mission statement

“My mission is create luxury, bold yet minimal handcrafted jewelry inspired by the African diaspora; to become a leading voice in the luxury jewelry space, where bold color expression rooted in African cultural aesthetics is recognized as refined, intentional, and timeless rather than playful.” - Ebonie

Who She Is

A woman with dark skin and styled curly hair sits at a table outdoors, wearing a cream blouse and gold earrings, with a slight smile.

Ebonie Jones, born and raised in the Washington, D.C. area, draws on a lifetime of cultural observation, her Ghanian upbringing, and artistic curiosity to create her work.

Her pieces—sculptural clay earrings, gold-plated forms, and handmade African-inspired perfumes—are an extension of her identity, blending personal experience with ancestral inspiration.

BOLD DESIGN


Who She Designs For

Each piece made by Ebonie transforms artistry into adornment.

I make for the woman who curates her life with intention, who treasures bold, sculptural pieces that spark conversation, and who delights in the quiet luxury of objects that reflect her heritage, curiosity, and artistic sensibility.

BRAND STORY

Clay + Stone was born out of necessity. In an effort to find both minimal and African-inspired jewelry, Ebonie decided the best place to find that is by creating her own.

Clay + Stone is a handmade jewelry and fragrance brand rooted in Ghanaian and West African heritage and expressed through a modern, minimal aesthetic. Each piece is created in small batches, blending boldness with restraint to create designs that feel intentional, wearable, and personal.

The brand was born from a desire to create work that reflects identity and culture in a way that fits into everyday life—not as costume or trend, but as quiet expression. Clay + Stone exists at the intersection of heritage and modern design, honoring where we come from while reflecting where we are going.

Clay + Stone is for those who move with intention—who see beauty in detail, meaning in simplicity, and value pieces that feel like more than adornment.
